<snip> I also noticed that nobody used floo powder to travel to and from the house, but they did use it to communicate with eachother. It seems to me that the safest thing would have been to disconnect the house from the floo network completely, seeing as the Order has "more reliable means of communication" (but that would have spoiled the plot of the book!). Perhapse you can reduce your connection to heads only :)


My answer (Elihu):

Hogwarts also has protection (for example, you can't apparate into it); when the students were discussing (PoA) how Black had gotten into Hogwarts, no one suggested Floo powder; Hermione could have probably known about such a way if it was possible. In addition, if Floo Powder could be used to get into Hogwarts, why didn't Black simply use it to go staight into Gryffindor Tower? In GF, we learn that the Gryffindor fire is connected to the network, and can be used for communication; Black knew it, in fact. 

I say that there is some spell (used both at Hogwarts and at the headquarters of the order) to prevent entering certain places by Floo Powder.
